Customer Sales

About the Company

Since 1951, Telfers has been a one-stop shop for all industrial, commercial, and domestic electrical needs, with thirteen locally owned and operated South Island branches. Telfers prides itself on working closely with customers to understand their unique needs and deliver solutions and service that are second to none.

We are currently seeking a Customer Salesperson to join our friendly team at our Papanui Branch. This role is ideal for someone who shares our commitment to outstanding customer service and enjoys building strong relationships with customers and suppliers.

About the Opportunity

Reporting to the Branch Manager, you will be responsible for assisting customers with product enquiries, quotations, sales, and order processing while providing prompt, friendly, and professional service. You will also help maintain branch stock levels, merchandise displays, and ensure the branch operates efficiently on a day-to-day basis.

This is a key role within the branch, focused on developing customer relationships and delivering the high level of service Telfers is known for.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will:

• Have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Enjoy working with people and providing outstanding customer service.
• Be self-motivated with a positive attitude and willingness to learn.
• Have strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Have an interest in the electrical industry or trade environment (preferred but not essential).

Previous sales or customer service experience would be advantageous; however, we are open to training the right person who will be a great fit for our team and company culture.

In return, you will be joining a well-established, locally owned business that genuinely values its people. Along with a competitive salary, we offer:

• Southern Cross Health Insurance (after three months' service)
• Employee incentive programme
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
• A supportive and team-focused work environment
